Amazon can be tricky, good for hard to find items but can be brutal on shipping charges.

In some cases they charge more for delivery than the actual item costs.

Prime, mother ******.....

It's seriously awesome. I bought a swing set for my daughter for Christmas that would have cost a fortune to ship. The box had to be at least 10 feet long and weigh around 200lbs. Free 2 day shipping. And that's just one item...I order a ton of stuff from them, so I'm coming out waaaay ahead on that deal.

Isn't there some type of credit card offer necessary to qualify for a prime account?.

If not, I'm on it...can't beat their pricing on most items.

No. You can use any of your credit cards to pay for Amazon Prime. Its $79/year. Often times they'll have deals/specials on it for the first year. For years I got away with still being a college student at $39/year...but Amazon finally found out.

I love amazon. I found a pair of leather boots I just had to have online for $80. Then I hopped on amazon out of curiosity and found the same ones for only $20!

Free movies to boot, and now I don't have to pay $8 to ship $6 worth of vacuum bags I cannot find in stores.

Just make sure they are a Prime item. A lot of stuff is, but some isn't. For example if it's a 3rd party seller, most of those items are not prime. There should be a little prime logo on the product detail page if the product qualifies for free 2 day shipping.

Love amazon, but since I live in Indiana amazon now charges me sales tax. which is pure shit.

If I buy something through one of the marketplace sellers, no sales tax will be charged...

I love Amazon Prime and have had it for two years now. If it can wait 2 days then I dont need to go shopping. I just looked to see how many orders I had this year and the number was 41. Oh yeah, I will be a prime member again this year.

I don't know why I haven't pulled the trigger on signing up for prime yet...I use amazon enough that I could make up for the cost with the shipping benefits. Just had a Nest Thermostat delivered today that I bought through amazon...can't wait to set that ***** up.

I was going to get a Nest but my HVAC guy who put in my new AC and furnace this summer warned me against them, recommended a Venstar Colortouch I believe it was.

Have not gotten a new one yet, but I would be interested to hear how it works for you.

Really hope you got a full ride to the university.

College is really waste of time and money, but best luck anyways

Nah, I'm going to be a teacher. Going to college is a must for that :shrug:

Otherwise, yeah I wouldn't be wasting $14000 a year on it.
